This document entitled Policy for Measurement of Research Output of Public Higher Education Institutions replaces the following policies:

Information Survey Manual - Research Output of Universities (Report 014/97)

Information Survey Manual - Research Output of Technikons (Report 024 /97)

In line with the White Paper 3, a Programme for the Transformation of Higher Education (1997) which outlines a single co-ordinated higher education system, this policy applies to all public higher education institutions, and thus does not differentiate between universities and technikons. As a consequence, its implementation will also not be differentiated according to institutional type.
